^aBites/person/night
^bProbability of daily mosquito survival
^cProportion of blood meals taken from humans to the total number of blood meals taken from any animal
^dDaily inoculations per single malaria case
^eEstimated P. falciparum reproduction rate: Total number of inoculations from a single malaria case (The basic reproduction rate values are derived on the assumption that a non-immune, untreated case of P. falciparum is infective to the vector for a total of 80 days)
